Google released a personal avatar feature for Gemini Omni that lets users create digital twins of their face and voice. By moving from generic generation to persistent personal likenesses, Google is turning its assistant into a personalized production studio where users can star in content via simple text prompts.

Gemini Omni will replace Veo in the Gemini app, shifting toward personalized media. By integrating identity into the assistant, Google competes with platforms like HeyGen by making digital clones accessible in a general-purpose app. It maintains character consistency, so the subject looks and sounds identical across generated scenes without re-uploading reference media.
Paid subscribers can set up avatars in the Gemini app settings to generate 10-second clips. You can prompt scenarios like "Create a video of @[username] singing with an orchestra." The feature is limited to English-speaking users aged 18+ and is currently unavailable in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland.
Still wondering? A few quick answers below.
A personal avatar is a digital version of your face and voice that you can use to generate AI videos. By recording a one-time selfie video and voice sample, you create a persistent identity that Gemini Omni can insert into various scenes and scenarios based on your prompts.
Once your avatar is created, you can include it in a video generation request by typing "@" followed by your Google username. For example, you could prompt Gemini to "Create a video of @[username] walking on the moon," and the model will use your stored likeness.
No, creating and using a personal avatar requires a paid Google AI subscription, such as Google AI Plus, Pro, or Ultra. Additionally, the feature is currently restricted to users aged 18 and over and is not available in the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland.
